The Voice of the People

Its a poem that describes the power of the arts and the power that we as artists hold.

The artist's paintbrush, the writer's pen

The musician's notes of deepest black

As deadly in ther own right

As the thundering cannon

 

Unsuppressable and undeniable

The voice of the people timeless in its speech

The voice has started wars and call for revolt

The voice has sounded the death knell of tyrants and leaders

The voice has shaped the world

 

But while its power as a weapon is great

Its power of good is equally strong

A lullabye so soft and sweet it brings a childs sleep

The wonder of sights unseen captured by the brush

While the pen recounts the tales of far away worlds

 

Those who wield the power must be careful of its use

We must not let out voices falter

But we must not seek to cause distress where there is no cause

Be fair, be bold, be just, be great

But be yourself and creations will be worth far more than gold

The topic for the poem is really unique. I like the choice of topics overall you pick. In this one The first paragraph caught my attention. A good way to start of and a nice way to end it.

You can improve on the poem in some ways however at the moment I cannot say. Perhaps if you use different vocabulary and go deeper into the thought perhaps it will be better. But so far it aint bad >.< haha
